Add or separate states of ingredients in taxonomy

[AcuarioCat]

Ingredients are processed through several of the taxonomies but in each taxonomy only once.
In some cases this means the state of the ingredient or certain attributes of products have to be included in the ingredients taxonomy as well as the prime ingredient.

For example, Flavouring. As this is only included in ingredients it has to be repeated for every possible flavor, i.e. elderberry flavouring won't process as it's not in the ingredients however orange flavouring will as it exists in ingredients. Both elderberry and flavouring are in ingredients but as there is only a single pass and the two keywords are in ingredients it does not get processed.
There are many more examples of this occurring.

Suggestion: Either add a new taxonomy for attributes or states that includes keywords such as flavouring, flour etc. or add these states to an existing taxonomy such as ingredients_processing.

I sort of agree. I would like to extend the processing taxonomy to an adjectives taxonomy, this could include flour and juice (I did not start working in that one yet).

The flavour one is more difficult, as many flavours do not have a relation with their taste. For example strawberry flavour is not made from strawberries, even if it says natural. So the ingredient flavour must kept separate, as it is really ingredient (made from fungi and yeasts).

I agree that we could consider flour and juice to be processing.

Flavors are much more complex. It will probably require a special system and parsing.
